Study Notes

Developmental Barriers

Language Barriers

  • Difficulty understanding or using verbal or nonverbal language
  • May be due to:
    • Hearing or speech impairments
    • Neurological disorders (e.g. aphasia)
    • Cultural or linguistic differences
    • Developmental delays (e.g. autism)

Impacts:

  • Difficulty communicating needs and wants
  • Social and emotional difficulties
  • Delays in academic and cognitive development

Cognitive Delays

  • Delays in processing, understanding, and using information
  • May be due to:
    • Genetic conditions (e.g. Down syndrome)
    • Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. ADHD)
    • Brain injury or infection
    • Environmental factors (e.g. malnutrition)

Impacts:

  • Delays in academic achievement
  • Difficulty with problem-solving and critical thinking
  • Increased risk of learning disabilities

Emotional Difficulties

  • Difficulty regulating emotions and behaviors
  • May be due to:
    • Genetic predisposition
    • Environmental factors (e.g. trauma, neglect)
    • Neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. anxiety disorder)

Impacts:

  • Difficulty forming and maintaining relationships
  • Increased risk of mental health disorders
  • Impaired social and emotional development

Sensory Impairments

  • Difficulty perceiving or processing sensory information
  • May be due to:
    • Hearing or vision impairments
    • Neurological disorders (e.g. autism)
    • Environmental factors (e.g. exposure to toxins)

Impacts:

  • Difficulty with communication and social interaction
  • Delays in cognitive and motor development
  • Increased risk of anxiety and stress

Developmental Barriers

Language Barriers

  • Difficulty understanding or using verbal/nonverbal language due to hearing/speech impairments, neurological disorders, cultural/linguistic differences, or developmental delays.
  • Impact on communication: struggles to express needs and wants, leading to social and emotional difficulties.
  • Impact on development: delays in academic and cognitive development.

Cognitive Delays

  • Delays in processing, understanding, and using information due to genetic conditions, neurodevelopmental disorders, brain injury/infection, or environmental factors.
  • Impact on learning: delays in academic achievement, difficulty with problem-solving and critical thinking, and increased risk of learning disabilities.

Emotional Difficulties

  • Difficulty regulating emotions and behaviors due to genetic predisposition, environmental factors, or neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Impact on relationships: struggles to form and maintain relationships, increased risk of mental health disorders, and impaired social and emotional development.

Sensory Impairments

  • Difficulty perceiving or processing sensory information due to hearing/vision impairments, neurological disorders, or environmental factors.
  • Impact on development: struggles with communication and social interaction, delays in cognitive and motor development, and increased risk of anxiety and stress.

This quiz covers the different types of developmental barriers, including language barriers and cognitive delays, and their impacts on communication, social interactions, and academic development.
